Mommy, What is Celiac Disease?is a unique children's book that thoughtfully explains Celiac Disease to a newly diagnosed child. Author Katie Chalmershas created a gem of a book that I feel would be useful on the shelf of every Celiac child, GI doctor, public and school library, and school classroom. Katie Chalmers wrote this book for her young daughter with Celiac disease, which undoubtedly accounts for the loving tone in which this book is presented.

My own young daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease three years ago and already has a comprehensive understanding of Celiac Disease, but we still found this book engaging and extremely enjoyable. I would have loved to have read this to her when she was newly diagnosed, as I feel it explains Celiac Disease more thoroughly to a child than other books of this type that we have read. We both especially like the illustrations, which were colorful and married well with the story.

I am following Gluten Free Taste of Home publicly on Google Friend Connect!! My son has just recently found out that he has Celiac Disease, and we are having a difficult time switching his eating lifestyle to GF. Thanks for running this contest! Lori at icalledonjesus@aol.com

I am a public follower on GFC and I would give this prize pack to my son because he is gluten-free. I have celiac and also eat gluten-free, so I might share some of the treats with him!amoeidson@yahoo.com

I follow you publically through Yahoo as sageandquinnsmommy. If I win I will give this prize package to my 5 year old son, Quinn, who was just diagnosed with celiac disease this summer. Thanks so much!

I am following Gluten Free Taste of Home PUBLICLY through google and if I win this it will be given to my 8yr old daughter Kendall. She has had celiac since she was 2. It would be such a blessing to us since she doesn't get treats that often...they are just too expensive. Thanks so much and may God bless your Christmas and new year!

I tried to follow you publicly via google friend connect using my yahoo id, but it wouldn't accept it. I don't know how else to do it since I don't have a "google" account. I clicked "like" for both of your facebook accounts...does that count? :( My daughter, 8 years old, has Celiac disease and is the only one in our family with this condition so she often feels left out. I would love to give her this giveaway pack and make her feel super special!

Following the blog via Google (publicly)! Thanks so much for this wonderful opportunity. What a blessing at Christmastime. My newly diagnosed 10 year old would love to be able to try these specialty items. Neato!

My daughter, Kerry is 7 and she was diagnosed with Celiac disease this year, she also has Tyoe 1 diabetes and is a VERY picky eater. I stopped working this year to manage her disease and it would be a WONDERFUL Christmas present for her to be able to try all these wonderful products!

I signed the pledge

Life is Good!

Very Important - Please Read

Dear Readers,

I am not a physician or a dietician; the information contained in the whole of this web site should not replace any advice given to you by a medical professional. What I am is the Mother of a child with Celiac Disease, and I have learned to cook and bake delicious gluten free recipes for my family since her diagnoses. My goal is to share my recipes and knowledge with other gluten free individuals to enhance their eating experiences. I ALWAYS check labels and contact food companies to ensure the foods and ingredients I purchase for my household are gluten free. Ingredients in foods can (and do) change often and without warning, so it is crucial to check labels EACH time you buy. When I list ingredients in my recipes on this site I do not write "gluten free" after each and every ingredient listed, as this would be redundant. After all, this is a gluten free web site, so obviously all of the ingredients in my recipes need to be purchased gluten free. Although the ingredients that I list for each recipe CAN be purchased gluten free, it is up to you to read labels and make sure you are indeed purchasing a gluten free brand for each ingredient or product. For example: If I list "1 jar enchilada sauce", read the label to make sure it is gluten free because many sauces use wheat as a thickening agent. I know jarred enchilada sauce is available gluten free because I purchase it, but I did my research and found a gluten free brand. In addition please be aware that most of the ads displayed on this site are in keeping with a gluten free life style. However, occasionally products containing gluten are displayed. Those ads are automatically displayed by the blog sponsers, and I take no responsibility for them. Please use your owndiscretion concerning such products. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Now let's start cooking! :)
